Calling her princess consort could be considered to have officially announced the change in Feng Yu Heng's status. Everyone in the Imperial Palace Yu knelt down to welcome her. Even the commoners outside the manor knelt down. Infected by this atmosphere, they no longer called her Princess Ji An. Instead, they all changed the way they addressed her. They all followed Eunuch Zhang's words and shouted in unison: "Welcome back to the manor, princess consort!"
Feng Yu Heng sat in the carriage. Her heart was filled with emotions. Princess consort, she was finally Royal Consort Yu. It seemed like she was still not used to it! She stepped out of the carriage with the support of Wang Chuan and Huang Quan. She did not specially change into a gorgeous brocade robe. She was still wearing the clothes she had worn on the way back. She did not have the bearing of a princess consort, but the aura around her body could not be ignored.
She quickly walked forward and personally helped Lady Zhou and Eunuch Zhang up. She then said to the kneeling servants behind her: "Everyone, rise! We are all familiar with each other. There is no need to be so formal. " After saying this, she said to Lady Zhou: "Heng still remembers when I returned to the capital three years ago. Lady Zhou brought the Imperial Palace Yu's large betrothal gifts to the Feng manor to support me. It was only after Lady Zhou came that Heng was able to continue living in the Feng manor. Heng will remember Lady Zhou's great kindness. "
With these words, Lady Zhou's heart was filled with emotions. Of course, she remembered when His Ninth Highness had asked her to deliver the betrothal gifts to the Feng family. In truth, at that time, her heart was also filled with uncertainty. No one had any impression of the Feng family's second young miss, much less any contact with her. After staying in the mountain village for three years, the Ninth Prince was already so attentive upon returning to the capital. As the granny who had raised the Ninth Prince since he was young, she also felt uncertain. But after interacting with her for a few years, she began to secretly praise His Highness' eyes. This Feng family's second young miss was not just stunning, she was simply amazing! With her by the Ninth Prince's side, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
"What are you talking about, Princess? From now on, you will be the master of the Imperial Palace Yu. This old servant will definitely obey Princess's orders."
After Lady Zhou expressed her stance, the other servants quickly followed suit. Feng Yu Heng didn't say much about this. This was a necessary ceremony for a servant to recognize a master. Since she was going to enter this mansion, she had to accept this ceremony.
Soon, Feng Yu Heng entered the Imperial Palace Yu under the escort of the crowd. Today, she entered the fu as the mistress of the house. Lady Zhou first invited her into the hall in the front courtyard, then led a group of servants to earnestly bow and kowtow to her. She also had Wang Chuan and Huang Quan distribute the prepared red packets to everyone. Royal Consort Yu was very generous. Everyone received a pair of earrings made of the best quality jade.
Lady Zhou and Eunuch Zhang had already made preparations. Lady Zhou was in charge of the treasury, and Eunuch Zhang was in charge of the treasury. One of them handed over the key, and the other handed over the account books. They were both willing and sincere in recognizing this mistress of the house. They also handed over the entire Imperial Palace Yu to her.
Feng Yu Heng didn't take it. She only said to Lady Zhou: "As the princess, I should know what is in the treasury. Then I will have to trouble Lady Zhou to organize a list for me to look over. As for the key … … "She shook her head," It will remain in Lady Zhou's hands. Heng will take on the responsibility of being the mistress of the manor, but she doesn't want to take all the power in her hands. " After she finished speaking, she said to Eunuch Zhang: "When the Feng Family took over my mother's dowry shop, they made a bunch of fake account books to fool me. It was Eunuch Zhang who personally went to the fu to help me deal with it. Heng admired Eunuch Zhang's ability to manage accounts. She also admitted that she would never be able to reach Eunuch Zhang's level of accounting in her life. I feel most at ease leaving the treasury in Eunuch Zhang's hands. If Eunuch Zhang feels that it is inappropriate, you can just report the accounts to me once a month. "
She expressed her position and took on the responsibility, but didn't want the power. This made Lady Zhou and Eunuch Zhang very embarrassed. Lady Zhou said: "Princess, this is unreasonable."
She shook her head and said: "There is nothing unreasonable about it. In our own fu, the rules we set are the reason. I believe in you and am willing to give up the power. This is my reason. "
When the two heard her say this, they did not insist. They only expressed that they would cooperate with Princess to manage the wang fu. Then Eunuch Zhang left with a group of servants under Lady Zhou's signal.
Lady Zhou took Feng Yu Heng and a few servant girls to the houyuan. They headed straight for the place where Xuan Tianming originally lived. Feng Yu Heng remembered that it was the most imposing courtyard in the fu. It was behind a river and surrounded by a bamboo forest. There was also a patch of peach blossom trees in the back. In the middle of the courtyard was a large empty space with nothing. Xuan Tianming had said that it was for the convenience of practicing martial arts. Lady Zhou said as she walked: "Before, I sent a letter to ask His Highness. Even though His Highness and Princess' wedding will not be held in Jing, the wedding room in the fu still needs to be decorated. His Highness said to decorate it here. Princess, please see if you are satisfied. If there is anything that needs to be added, this old servant will immediately send someone to add it. "
What could Feng Yu Heng be dissatisfied with? She didn't know much about the rules of ancient weddings, but when she entered the room and saw the joyous atmosphere in the room, she knew that Lady Zhou had put in a lot of thought. This was Xuan Tianming's bedroom. She had come and slept in it before, but Lady Zhou had changed almost all of the furnishings. She had changed them all, and they were all in pairs. It looked very auspicious.
The bed was also changed to a bright red color. It was still sprinkled with "jujube and osmanthus seeds." Feng Yu Heng blushed when she saw it. She said to Lady Zhou: "Furen knows more about etiquette than Heng Cheng. Furen is the most appropriate in doing things. I enjoy it very much."
Lady Zhou beamed with joy: "It's good that Princess likes it. There is one more thing that I need to ask Princess about. In the past, His Highness never used maidservants in the courtyard. Only this old servant would come here to take care of things. The other matters were handled by manservants. Now that Princess has entered the fu, do you think we should add some more people to the courtyard? "
Feng Yu Heng covered her mouth and laughed. She knew that Xuan Tianming didn't use maidservants, but now that she had moved in, it wasn't proper to use manservants. So she said to Lady Zhou: "It's good to add some rough maidservants to the courtyard. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan will take care of the personal matters!"
Lady Zhou nodded: "This old servant also thinks so." Finishing, she pointed behind her: "These six maidservants were chosen by this old servant. The maidservants in the wang fu all have some foundation in martial arts. It will be easier for Princess to use them. They will only serve in the courtyard. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan will take care of the personal matters. "
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan quickly bowed and said: "Furen is too courteous. Serving His Highness and Princess is the responsibility of these servants."
Lady Zhou smiled and said: "These two guniang may have been people of the Imperial Palace Yu in the past, but you are female guards that His Highness has specially trained. You have also followed Princess for so many years. There is no need to be so courteous to this old servant. Princess has just returned from a long journey, so rest first. Have a few maidservants prepare water for you to bathe. This old servant will go to the kitchen to see if the noon meal is ready. "
Everything had been arranged properly. When Feng Yu Heng sat in the tub and soaked, her mood was very comfortable. It was easier to deal with the people of the Imperial Palace Yu. First, she was familiar with them in the past. When she came to this fu, she didn't have the strange feeling and feeling of being at a loss of what to do in a new environment. Second, the people of the Imperial Palace Yu had been trained well by Xuan Tianming. They weren't long-winded, they weren't troublesome, they weren't troublesome, and they weren't annoying. They said what should be said and didn't say anything that shouldn't be said. They were polite to the point. There was no flattery, no special flattery. Everything made people feel very comfortable. Even Wang Chuan and Huang Quan said: "After coming to the Imperial Palace Yu, I still feel a sense of belonging. It's just like being in my own home."
Feng Yu Heng nodded and tacitly agreed. However, she also said to the two maidservants: "Although we've moved to the Imperial Palace Yu, the junzhu fu can't be empty. We have to keep as many people as we need. We can't drive people out just because we're not here. If there are too many people in the fu, then we'll send some people to the farmstead. Then we'll ask if there's anyone who wants to learn medicine. I'll talk to grandfather in the near future and ask a few doctors who have already learned to open a small school to teach more people. This will make it easier to use people in the future. In addition, we're living on both sides. We can't ignore the junzhu fu. "
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan quickly agreed. They took away the clothes that Feng Yu Heng had changed out of and put new clothes on the side for her. Only then did the two of them leave. Feng Yu Heng didn't like people waiting on her when she was bathing. They were already used to it.
Xuan Tianming didn't return to the fu until the evening. The happy greetings from everyone in the fu made him feel very comfortable. How many years had it been since he felt so carefree? Now that there was a mistress in the fu, the atmosphere was really different! He saw Eunuch Zhang carrying a tray. On the tray were the toothpaste, toothbrush, and soap that Feng Yu Heng had given him. He knew that these things had been promoted in the junzhu fu for a long time. The servants had been using them all this time. Now they were going to bring them to the Imperial Palace Yu? It was really a blessing to the people.
When Lady Zhou and Eunuch Zhang saw him return, they surrounded him and talked about the benefits that Feng Yu Heng had brought to the fu in just one afternoon after entering the fu. They also talked about the red packets that she had given everyone. The two of them talked happily. Xuan Tianming was also happy to hear it. Lady Zhou discovered that ever since His Highness returned and the fu had a mistress, it seemed that this icy face of his would occasionally smile. Lady Zhou was very happy about this.
However, she also reported to Xuan Tianming that Feng Yu Heng wasn't taking over the accounts and storerooms. Xuan Tianming thought about it and said: "It's fine. We'll do as she says. You just have to report the accounts every month. That girl is a person with great wisdom. She really shouldn't be hindered by the fu's matters. However, the fu absolutely can't not treat her as the mistress of the fu just because she isn't taking over these matters! Remember, Imperial Palace Yu will only have one mistress in this lifetime. There will only be one mistress of the household, and only one woman can live in it. No one is allowed to treat her lightly. "
Lady Zhou smiled and said: "Your Highness shouldn't speak so confidently. In the future, when we have many children and grandchildren, and add a little princess or something, our fu won't only have one mistress, and it won't only have one woman living in it."
Xuan Tianming's eyes narrowed with a smile. That's right! If he were to give birth to a daughter, she would definitely be like Heng Heng. She would be so eccentric and smart. With a child that looked like her running around the fu, just thinking about it would be a happy thing.
"Un." Xuan Tianming nodded. He did not say anything else and walked towards the inner courtyard. Lady Zhou did not continue to follow. Of course, she did not know that Xuan Tianming was currently thinking: "Feng Jin Yuan and Yao shi have already passed away for 100 days. It seems that the matter of the bridal chamber should be brought forward!"
